"Not since Ella Fitzgerald met Joe Pass on stage has there been so
felicitous a mating as Tuck & PATTI." -- Leonard Feather"The best duo
on the planet!" -- Bobby McFerrin.
For over 41 years this unique, genre-crossing vocal/guitar jazz duo
has cast its passionate musical spell worldwide, capturing the hearts
of lovers, the respect of jazz buffs and the jaw-dropping awe of
guitarists and singers.
To understand Tuck & Patti, start with the wellspring of love within
them, then their music begins to make perfect sense. Married 38 years,
Tuck Andress and Patti Cathcart continue to stoke the fires, not only
of their own love, but also of their love of life and their passion
for making music together. They have a long-standing tradition:
Minimalist arrangements featuring Tuck's extraordinary virtuosity and
Patti's rich mezzo soprano.
Patti, renowned for her remarkable ability to touch hearts directly
with her voice, exudes the soft, centered yet powerful graciousness of
a gospel singer; Tuck almost wears his brain on his skin, anticipating
the thousands of musical decisions he'll have to send to his ten
fingers during the course of a performance. Seeing the virtuosity and
complexity of Tuck's guitar work, most are surprised to learn that
Patti is the actual writer, arranger and producer. Without even
blinking, Tuck-the-problem-solver brags, "Patti writes and arranges; I
am just the orchestra."
